FAQ: Will the HTP building at RSH have underground parking or additional parking?

Contractors parking in staff car parks

We have been notified of contractor vehicles still parking in staff car parks We are working closely with our construction partners to make sure new starters and delivery drivers know the parking instructions on site and we will be issuing enforcements to those vehicles parked in the wrong place. If staff notice vehicles parked in the wrong area, they can report it to sth-tr carparking@nhs net Please state which car park the vehicle is parked in and the registration number to ensure the swiftest of resolutions to your feedback

Park & Ride Update

As the nights get darker, and with the extended hours on the RSH Park & Ride, please take every step possible to ensure your personal safety The Park & Ride car parks at RSH and PRH are well lit If you are feeling concerned, the bus drivers are willing to wait at the car parks until colleagues are safely in their cars

The bus route at RSH is different on the way there, to the way back The blue route takes you from Oxon to the Treatment Centre and stops off on Mytton Oak Road, just before Evolution Road The purple route goes from the Treatment Centre and has a request stop further up Mytton Oak Road, and then finishes at Oxon

We will need to adjust the route in the next few weeks to align with the new one-way system on site, so look out for more details

We will continue to look at how we can deliver the best service for our colleagues, so that as many people as possible can use the Park & Ride
